Approaches and Accessible Online Care with Kelli Rue-Bachini

Kelli often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action on what matters to them, while teaching practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and emotions so they interfere less with living. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients can feel understood and build self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelli collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions based on ongoing feedback so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or other comfortable settings.
